Kindergeist is a horror podcast with 14-year-old Silaz and horror academic/filmmaker Xanthe Pajarillo. The pod creates a space where horror can be explored through fun, inspiring, and meaningful conversations. Our mission is to help young people embrace what makes them different, challenge the stigma that horror isn't for kids, and celebrate the genre as a place for creativity, curiosity, and community. Through conversations with filmmakers, creators, scholars, and fans, we hope to inspire the next generation of horror lovers while making a positive impact on the horror community as a whole.
